Abstract

A numerical solar radiation model based on standard meteorological data was revised for clouds using data from the GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE). Climatic-mean transmittance functions were revised for low and convective clouds independent of zenith angle. Results for four GATE ships are presented. -from Authors
